Torture, just plain torture and frustration

Well I did receive my new Bernina yesterday by UPS. The previous owner sent the accessories via UPSP. Would you believe the bobbin case is not in the machine, never mind a bobbin or foot? This is torture. Here I have this new toy and I can't even play with it. That's like buy a new car and someone parks it in your drive way and says "the keys are coming soon".

Tried hooking my laptop to the machine to see if I can at least peak. What a production that was. I don't have a serial port on my laptop, so DH, Mr. Computer Geek, brought home an adapter (Belkins). It now communicates but I can't retrieve anything. I'm bumming!

I went to a Bernina dealer in VT (a gal I worked with at a quilt store opened a store) and she's such a sweetheart. Said I had gotten a good deal and offered to give me the same amount (they offer less on trade in) if I upgraded to a newer Bernina. How tempting! I don't even know if I'll like embroidery, so I'll have to pass.

Thanks for allowing me to vent. Off to use my old Bernina toy.

Why wouldn't she have shipped everything together? I'm sure your payment came in one piece. I don't understand her reasoning... and I hope the rest of the goodies are on their way. Have fun playing when they arrive!

Oh how I hope that never, ever happens to me. For the sake of my neighbors, friends, enemies, family and strangers. I think my hair would catch on fire. Maybe, maybe, I can understand, maybe, how a cautious person would have separately wrapped the bobbin case so it would not jiggle in transit and do harm - but ship separately? Oh mercy. Oh my. Yes. Torture is the word - cruel and inhuman come to mind too. Bless your heart. Polly

Hi Carole, When my 200E was shipped, I got the embroidery unit and the accessories 2 days before the machine arrived. At least all the books were in this box and I could read about all the fun I was going to have. Enjoy your new toy! Linda in Tx

Unfortunately, no books in the first two shipment. I'm still waiting for the third box so that I can read the manual. I did play with the software but somehow I feel I'm missing a program and/or the proper know-how that would come with the manual. Hopefully it will come in today. I am looking forward to playing with it.
